The next car we are featuring looks like it was one of Charles Kee’s personal cars he wanted to keep. It is a 1962 Chrysler 300 2-door with a big block engine. This is a really nice car, and like many others, Charles Kee put blankets over the dash and seats to preserve them from the desert sun.
Miss our last post on the Kee collection? James G. Murphy will hold the estate sale of Charles Kee on May 8 and 9 in Brothers, Oregon. Charles has a huge collection of Mopar cars and parts and we got the opportunity to go out and look at some of the stuff. Read more about the 1966 Chrysler Newport in this collection after the jump! (We want to apologize that some of the pictures in this post are not very good–it was 35 degrees and raining with a 30 MPH wind when we took these, our camera got some water on it a few times).
One of my Bucket List cars, the 1970 Hurst Edition Chrysler 300, in all it’s white and gold glory. Hooniverse recently located this ridiculously overpriced one on Craigslist, reigniting their “Is it an Obscure Muscle Car?” question. More pics after the jump.
Don’t get too excited. There are no A12s, AARs or winged cars but there is an R/T–an Aspen R/T. The man obviously loved F-bodies. Find more info at Barn Finds of this unique Mopar collection that has hit Craigslist. More pics after the jump.
Did you want to go to the Lambrecht collection auction but live in the Northwest? Did you want to go but are only a Mopar fan? Well, here is your chance. The Charles Kee collection is going up for auction on May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon. Where is Brothers, you ask? It’s in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon, about an hour east of Bend, Oregon. It was a five hour drive for us from Olympia, Washington. Charles Kee was collecting cars to try to start a museum but unfortunately passed away before seeing his dreams come true.
This is an amazing collection of cars and parts but unfortunately a few years ago some Europeans came in and bought a bunch of the better cars from the collection. Most of what are left are C-bodies and 4-door Chryslers with a few scattered B- and A-bodies. Still some good projects in the bunch, however.
We got the opportunity to see the collection and have the scoop on the cars and parts that are going up for auction. Here are some general pictures and we are going to have more details on a few of the best cars. The auction is being run by James G. Murphy–here is a link to the preliminary catalog. Anyone want more info on any cars in particular?
Reported to be the actual car that The King used to win races number two, three and four of his career, this Fury, as posted on Hemmings, can now be yours for a cool half million. Towel included. More pics after the jump!
After being in storage for the past 10 years, this 318 powered Challenger is on eBay with no reserve. Automatic transmission, power brakes, power steering, power windows and a/c would make this one sweet cruiser. Find it on Bring a Trailer and follow the auction here on eBay. More pics after the jump!
Wow, what a stunner. Numbers matching 383 car with very low miles. Seller claims it is rust free and has lived in California all its life. Love the F4 green. Just two hours left to bid with reserve not met. Will it sell? More pics plus eBay auction text after the jump!
Update: looks like it got bid up to $71,999.99 with reserve not met!
So you’d like to buy the ICON Dodge D200 Powerwagon now that it’s for sale (as recently posted on Mopar Blog) but it’s level of craftsmanship and custom work and resulting $300,000 asking price makes it kinda impossible? This similarly styled, 12v Cummins powered Dodge is available on Craigslist for a more down to earth $39,000. More pics after the jump!
We’ve featured this ICON D200 before. It’s perhaps the COOLEST TRUCK EVER. And it’s for sale! Check out the video after the jump to learn more!
